Lethbridge Cru Régnié Beaujolais 2022 from Geelong opens with an electric lift of bright red fruit and wild herbs, a cool‑climate expression of Régnié Gamay shaped by the hands of Ray Nitschke in the elevated Geelong hills. This Lethbridge Cru Régnié Beaujolais 2022 Geelong release is a smart buy for those chasing an aromatic, food‑friendly red that feels both joyful and precise.

On the nose there is red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry layered with violet, white pepper and a breath of forest floor dampened by autumn rain, framed by zesty acidity and fine, chalky tannins. The palate is light‑medium yet structured, with a clean, mineral finish that invites you back to the glass throughout the meal.

Serve slightly cool with roast chicken with herbed butter, seared duck breast or a mixed charcuterie board laden with nuts and pickles, best enjoyed at a relaxed weeknight dinner or summer picnic. Buy a bottle now for tonight’s plate and add another to the cellar to enjoy its lively, fragrant profile over the next three to five years.
